Running Gag/Live-Action TV: Difference between revisions

Line 27:

** Kenan screaming "WHY?" when something goes wrong.

** The long, drawn-out routine about Kel's [[Trademark Favorite Food|love of orange soda]].

* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'':

* ~~The Cheese Man who appears throughout "Restless", the fourth season finale for ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''. Also, on~~ a larger scale, is Anya's fear of bunnies. Some gags even crossed over into ''[[Angel]]'', such as the parallel universe made entirely of shrimp and the supernatural-savvy characters' insistence that leprechauns don't exist.

** On a larger scale, is Anya's fear of bunnies. Some gags even crossed over into ''[[Angel]]'', such as the parallel universe made entirely of shrimp and the supernatural-savvy characters' insistence that leprechauns don't exist.

** Season 8 gives us two from Dawn, her insistence that what she was turned into was not a centaur but a centaurette (girl centaur) and the VERY [[Genre Savvy]] (since she had a her-focused episode based on it) instance of "Monkey's Paw" after Buffy starts developing new powers (her point being that nothing good comes without tacked on bad).

** One ''Buffy'' episode has Buffy looking to get drunk. She goes out drinking with Spike, hitting the whiskey hard. No matter how many times she drinks it though, (including when she grabs a bottle from a bartender's hand and takes a big swig right from it) she has a funny grossed out reaction every time.

** The next(?) episode has Spike offer her a drink; her response is, "A world of no."

** On both ''Buffy'' and ''[[Angel]]'', Angel's tendency to [[Stealth Hi Bye|disappear]] during a multiperson conversation without anybody noticing is often [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]]. "Someone ought to put a little bell-and-collar on that guy!"

** [[Butt Monkey|Xander]] the demon magnet.

** [[Butt Monkey|Xander]] the demon magnet. In one episode, he's suspicious a girl simply because she seems to like him.

** [[Lampshaded]] powerfully in Season Seven, by which point ''everybody is aware of it'' and the Scoobies (sans Giles) attempt desperately to latch on to it to make the entire situation comedic as per their earlier adventures as opposed to increasingly desperate, as per this season's [[Story Arc]].

** Andrew in Season 6, and into Season 7, when he becomes a much more prominent character. "Who?" "Tucker's brother." "Oh."
